In my case I have two blog with:

  • Google AdSense
  • BuySellAds
  • Referral Links

The best place is for Google AdSense, the second place is for Referral Links and finally BuySellAds.

What happens in your case?

PD. Since the death of MegaUpload, I think that sales and referrals have increased. It’s that true?

Fantastic – Chapeau!

Will you tell us how many visitors you have on your sites? It’s an incredibly high amount of money for referals. GREAT !

Sorry for taking your thread in another direction there Erick, I’ve removed the image.

Let’s keep on topic.

I know Google ads can be a real winner for some people, but I’ve never got it to work properly :(

My friend @AaranMcguire was talking to me about installing Google Ads to people who arrive to your site via search engines, which apparently is supposed to give much higher clickthroughs on GA.

Buysellads is a good source of income, but as mentioned, nothing in comparison to referals.

The adspace that is sold out on my sites at the minute is actually making a profit for those who’ve purchased it on their own affiliate schemes – now simple math says that if they can purchase at X price and make X profit on top, as a blog owner why not just cut out the middle man and remove the advertising for your own referral ads :)

Or, just mention on your BSA you don’t allow third party affiliates to advertise, then it’s win win :)
